George I exchanged my exhaust housing at Precision for free. I originally had a .63 4 bolt housing. Sent it to them and they sent me back my new .82 V-band housing, I only had to pay shipping. I bet ATP or wherever that turbo is from will offer you the same exchange service!

Well, right now it is used since I have about 110 miles on it. Also, since I didn't purchase the turbo I have no record of buying it from anywhere, other than the whole engine package from Josh.

I will run it and see how it works out. If I have to swap it down the road I can.

Ah I see. Well even so, I can't imagine the smaller housing being that much money to buy outright. But in my opinion, .63 is the smallest I'd go IF you do decide to upgrade/downgrade that housing. A .48 on a bb turbo with that motor will snap your wrist pins :lol:

Not sure. It should do 400 easily, but I am not really after monster power. The 3076 might be too big for my needs, but I will have to see how this tunes.


Looking forward to hearing how this works out with TT!

Interesting. This may be the case. I had 2 arms and pretty sure that wasn't on either. Mitch had one also and I didn't see one on his. One of the arms I have came out of a working trans along with the rest of my swap parts.


96- pivot pin has a plastic ball/cap, sounds like you resolved it by spacing out the pivot, though

We would get it done, it would just take twice the time. :) Also Mitch and the use of his shop. The lift makes it so much easier.

Not everyone up here hires Danny for these things. I prefer to do most of the work on my car myself, but there are things that I would rather have an expert working on.

That is the old engine coming out. That filter is the automatic transmission filter I added years ago. There was a secondary cooler down there also, but both have been removed now. Which reminds me that I need to find and install the vent cover in the bumper now that the cooler is gone. :)

It won't be dyno'd until June at the earliest, and probably not until later in the summer.

I don't think it was a fast turn around, but then I never really talked about it on here much. :)

I have about 235 miles on it now. Trying to stay off the freeways for the most part and varying the RPMs. Just about halfway there now.
Got the exhaust welded up, but they couldn't do the EGT bung, so now I will have to pull the DP to have it done.
